What Went Down with Foals at Roadrunner

It was time to dance at Roadrunner on Sunday as Foals rolled through town on their second to last date of their tour, promoting their newest album Life is Yours. The band brought along bands Glove and Inner Wave for support. Glove started off the show, sporting a post-punk, new wave sound. Following up was Inner Wave, the indie-rock LA natives, and their performance was full of psychedelic vibes. 

What’s great about seeing a Foals show is that the band’s setlist is full of songs old and new. Foals started off with an energetic banger off of Life is Yours, “Wake Me Up”. A majority of the setlist belonged to the newest album but also multiple from their debut album, Antidotes. As the night got further along, lead singer Yannis started to travel off of the stage and into the crowd while never missing a note on his guitar. There was even a small mosh pit at multiple points during the show, which was an unusual sight for an indie rock set. The crowd was amped up even more when the band came out for an encore performance of two songs, “Inhaler” and “Two Steps, Twice”. As always, Foals put on an incredible show that had everyone grooving and jumping.
